An Arkansas editor lately issued his paper wiihout editorial matter, but with a paragraph at the head ot the leading column in which he declared that the wives of his subscribers had occupied his attention in calling to show their babies that he had no time to attend to anything else.

At a recent assemblage of newspaper

One of the results of the siege of Paris is a column in the London limes of perso ral advertisements from Parisians who have sought refuire in London, intended to communicate tidings of interest to their relatives and friends at home.

that eventful occasion.

Nilsson appeared in Oratorio before an

audience of three or four thousand per sons at Chicago last Friday evening and gave such an entertainment as eveu Chicago has never before been favored with, of the kind, if we are to judge from the enthusiastic and lengthy report in the Times, which is good authority. Let our beautiful Opera Hall, upon this occasion, be thronged. Tickets can be had at Bartlett & Co.'s book store. Secure your seats without delay. A great many ot our most respectable citizens prefer the galleries upon the occasion of an opera and are ^securing their seats there.

Pierce, who, it will be remembered, presided in the former trial, Judge Scott appearing as counsel for the defendant. After hearing the argument on the motion, the court sustained and a trial was had before the court, at the conclusion of which tho divorce without alimony was granted, on the grounds of abandonment and it being proven to the satisfaction of the court that the petitioner has been a bona fide resident of the State for one year.

BEREIN,

Jan. 16.—Count Bismarck is

preparing a circular showing an abundant and unprecedented revictualling of Paris at the very time of the refusal of Germany's most liberal proposal for an armistice, fully proves that French leaders never seriously contemplated entering in to negotiations leading to peace. Dampierre was the headquarters of Von Goeben's army January 7th.

The battle of Bapaume, whieh I hoped to have been enabled to send you the details of yesterday, resulted in the real defeat of the French, although a hard won victory. One of the greatest events of the day was a charge made by the 8th Rhenish Cuirassiers, commanded by Capt. Von Maires, who, with another de tachment of cavalry, was ordered to follow the French on the Arras and Dana roads. Beyond the village of Lopigu, he encountered two battalions of French infantry at one time, and discoverd that the troops were in parallei line over an undulating country that had hitherto hidden them from view.

Most of the country around Bapaume is mostly ploughed land, which the frost had frozen into bars like iron. Cavalry officers know the difficulty that heavy regiments have to overcome under such circumstances. A spot was chosen for attack, and soon the French, deceived by

At 300 yards the Prussians opened a perfect shower of bullets, which rung against the pierced cuirassiers and advancing horsemen. The concussion was severe. Capt. Maires was shot in the knee, the First Lieutenant unhorsed and the Surgeon Major shot through the heart. The remains of the shattered squares gained shelter in the village, and the advance of cavalry was impossible.

MEMPHIS,

Jan. 16.—The steamer T. L.

McGill, from St. Louis to New Orleans, was burned at Shoo Fly Bar at 9 o'clock Saturday night. Fire broke out aft, and owing to the gale prevailing, such was the rapidity of the fiame3 that the passengers had barely time to rush to the bow and plunge into the water before the fire was upon them. To add to the horrors of the scene the weather was intensely co!d. Many who plunged into the river were chilled and sunk to rise no more. The survivors give but imperfectand conflicting reports.

The boat had been aground for two days, and had unloaded two hundred tons of her freight in order to get over the bar. She was laden with nine hundred tonsof general merchandise, including pork and coal oil. Just as the passengers were preparing to retire, the alarm of fire was raised, and a general stampede ensued. Eleven bales of cotton added here, were thrown overboard aud saved. Nearly every one was saved. The steamers St. P'rancis and White, which had passed, were several miles above, but seeing the fire turned back and arrived in time to render valuable assistance. The II. C. Yerger lying near by, also rendered Assistance. The White brought, up si of perahns p1okf»d up along the shores. It was hoped that Capt. Tompkins, and Wm. C. McFarran, first clerk, were saved, but the arrival of the Sc. Francis to-night, leaves little hope of either. So confused are the reports that it is impossible to form an accurate estimate or the number lost which is probably thirty.

House.

Cullom asked consent to have a

day assigned for a business Committee on Territories. Objected to. The Senate amendment to the House bill for the restoration of Captain Lynch to the active list of the Navy as Captain, was concurred in.

The House then proceeded to the call of committees for bills of a private character.

The House at 1:40 P. M. went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Schofield in the chair, aud resumed consideration of the legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation bill.

Mr. Armstrong moved to make the salary of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States $15,UOU instead of §6,500, and of each Associate Justice $10,000, instead of $6,000.

Mr. Hale moved to make the salary of the Chief Justice $S,500 aud Associate or retired Justice $3,000.

Mr. Potter opposed Mr. Hale amendment and favored that ottered by Mr. Armstrong. He contrasted the liberal policy of the English Government fixing compensation of judges with the parsimony practiced by the United States Government.

Mr. Eldridge inquired whether this was the proper time to enter on a system of increasing salaries, when all branches of business were depressed, and when people were already overtaxed? As to the necessity for such increase on account of an increase in the cost of living, the reverse was the fact.

Mr. Jenckes supported the amendment offered by Mr. '"Armstrong, contending that the upright judge was the poor man's counsel, and therefore it was to the interest of taxpayers to have the judge liberally compensated.

Mr. Bingham suggested that the gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Armstrong) should accept the amendment offered by Mr. Hale, although if the matter were left to himself he would vote a larger sum, and would then be satisfied that he had voted no more than was due to the Court itself and to the people behind the court.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, said he would vote lor the largest sum proposed, and agreed that in proportion to wealth and pricos of the country in two periods, the first salary filled forjudges was much more liberal than now proposed.

Mr. Armstrong, in conformity with suggestions made to him, accepted the amendment offered by Mr. Hale, instead of his own.

The amendment was adopted, fixing the salary of tbe Chief Justice at $8,500 and Associates and retired Justice at $8,000 each.

The committee then rose, leaving the pages of the bill unfinished, and then, the House at 3:30 P. M., adjourned.

THE killed and wounded on the railroads of the United States during the year Oct. 31, 1870, were: Killed, 168 wounded, 484. Kansas leads the slain, worth 72 killed New York comes first in the wounded list, with 08.

TheTarboro Caro Hnian says that at the time ofBraddock defeat, he was 2.) years old, and had a wife and three children. He has always been in moderate circumstances lived upon a coarse vegetable diet never drank any liquid but spring water, and bids fair to live many years longer. He has survived seven "wives, and having lost his last one about sixty years ago, he now begins to feel quite* lonely, and wishes to marry again.

THE champion case of hydrophobia has manifested itself in the fown of Boj'lston, N. Y. Forty years ago one Major King was bitten by a mad dog. The bite healed in due time, and no trouble resulted from it. A few weeks since, however, hydrophobia manifestod itself in the unfortunate, man's system, and after suffering the usual agonies and paroxysms he expired, a victim to t!ie bite inflicted nearly half a century ago. This case we believe to be unprecedented in the history of medicine.
